"At UB, these funds will allow us to design and deploy critical grid-based
infrastructure that will allow for outreach and training to our sister organizations so
that they can get up to speed on grid computing," said Russ Miller, CCR director and
UB Distinguished Professor in the department of computer science and engineering.
Miller, principal investigator on the new grant, said the grid will provide an
unprecedented educational opportunity for the region, as many private companies
and institutions have their own computational grids.
